THE HOSPITAL FOUNDER.
How He Goes from One Hospital TO

How He Goes from One Hospital TO
Another Till Rounded Up.
NEW YORK, Feb. GA few nights ago
two rough-looklng men were seated at a
table In South Fifth avenue saloon, puff
ing their short-stemmed pipes and slowly
sipping Italian schooners of beer.
"Wbat has become of Harry" said
one. ~ have not seen him since he was
took sick.o
.'What has become of himr' answered
the other, why, he's turned hospital
rOunder.'"
In the conversation which ensued the
meaning of the term was clearly set
forth.
A hospital rounder" is a pauper inva-
lid who gees from hospital to hospital,
and from city to city, until death puLs an
end to his wanderings. In most cases ne
is afflicted with some incurable disease.
Unlike the ma jority OF the extreme poor.
who prefer 10 suffer In squalOr, surround
ed by their friends, he demands the best
attendants, the best medical care, and the
greatest amount of comfort. 1t is for
these reasons that he works the hospitals.
As these institutions in all of our large
cities are run independently of each other,
IL is comparatively easy task. In New
York he has large field.
Starting with Bellevue, he can run
through the whole list OF free hospitals
without fear of detection.
1t 10 not until the physicians discover
that his malady is incurable, and lhat he
may live for several years helpless in
valid, that they turn him over 10 the COM
missioners OF charities to be cared for at
the public expense. When this subject
is preached be prefers to care for himself,
and lie does II by applying to another hos
pital.
When New York Is no longer an eligi-
bic place he migrates 10 Boston or PDils-
delphIa and repeats his operations.
From there he will 20 to every large city

of u few years, II he remains alive. will

lapse of time, TO recommence his strange
journey. some have money, but IL 10 not
known until after their death. One old
friendless man, who lived for years IN this
manner, narrowly ESCAPED the dissecting
KNIFE or the Potter's Field. A bank book
WAS discovered In the lining of his coat
two days after he was dead. Between
It's covers was a curious document. In
substance IL stated that he bad in the
latter years OF his life but three lears--
one that be might be committed to some
public institution; the second that he
would after his death be "carved in the
interests of science" and the third that
his burial would be that OF a psuper.
The amount C. his credit In the savings
bank was over 500. lie was buried In n
separate grave in one OF our suburbrn
ceine cries, and a mar BILE tom bstone marks
the place Of his rest. There 10 something
pathetic in this. Knowing that death
was inevitable, being without friends or
the ability to sarn money, he steadfastly
clung TO the little fund which WAS TO
accord him respectable burial.

scene. They said their champion had ex

would be fitting to entomb two such brave
men together. We accepted their

spirit in which 1t was made. We buried
them side by side, and heaped a great
pile of stones over them to prevent the
wolves from getting al the bodies.
And there they slumber still. One died

IN THE MISSOURI VALLEY.
A SKETCH.
RY WILLIAM TYNDAIiL.


fCopyri0bted. 1887.
We were on the early morning train
hat runs from Council Bluffs to Sioux
City. 1t was in the late spring; the ris-
,ng sun peered over the bluffs to our left,
which looked as if they might be mile
off. The valley OF the Missouri, properly
Making, is at this point one of the most
fertile regions in the country, and on a
morning like this one the scene is as
beautiful as one could wish for. To the
left rolls the Big Muddy, marked by a
straggliug fringe of trees; to the right
lies the beautiful green valley, bounded
nv high bluffs, whose SUBMITS are gilded
nv the first rays of the rising sun; above
all is the blue dome Of the sky. 1t is a
yeritable Eden.
"a rare vlew," said the man in the seat
behind me.

yet" said the other. S'this morning
reminds me wonderfully of another more
than thirty years ago. There was no
railroad here then, and the only lnhabi-
lants were the Sioux Indians"
"Wbat happened on that particular
morning, may ask? ?"
"I'll tell you if you don't mind bit Of
story" said he.
Ireplied that nothing would please me
better.
"There we're six OF u.s." said he, "that
came out here on STOCK raising venture.
We struck this valley, and it pleased US
so well that we settled down on it. But
the Indians were jealous, and sent us
word to Withdraw beyond the bluffs OF
pay the penalty of disobedience with our
lives.

SCHOOLGIRLS as Cooks.

Twenty Of the young girls who are
being trained as teaCh6rsat the normal
school, saws the Philadelphia Record,
put on white caps and aprons ycster-
day morning and took their first lesson
i'm cookery. This is branch of in
structiun for which the city does not
pay. and probably never will as long
as city councils shall hold the purse
strings. The means are supplied by
some ladies and gentlemen who think
that no Girls education is complete
until she has been taught how to make
charlotte russo and mix II salad, and
who hope that, as time shall show the
advantages of instruction in cooking,
the city authorities will be brought
around and will appropriate the money
needed to continue the work.
Miss Helen NJ. Spring, a young
woman from Boston, who shares IN
this dclusion, is the prcccptor in the
new study. An unused room in the
Normal school building has been fitted
up for Miss Spring, ank yesterday
morning il fairly bristled with utensils
of the kitchen. There were two rows
of tables for the youthful manipula-
tors. and adjoining the classroom was
the kitchen. Miss Spring began her
instruction by going back to times
primcval and coming down by easy
stages to the classical cooking of the
present day. She asked the girls easy
questions about heat and combustion,
and not getting the definition she want
ed for heat gave this:
ENERGY; the momentum of physical
existence, conserved and stored in the
earth and around Us in myriads OF
forms of inanimato physical life.
This rather tired the girls, and Miss
Spring rested them 10y taking them in
to the kitchen, where the mysteries of
making Il fire were revealed to them.
Three housrkccpcrS were appointed
from the class, the style of whose
duties was shown by the following in
structiouS for No. | written on the
blackboard:
Housckccpcr No. l.-Sift cinders,
empty ashes, open drafts, build fire,
brush stove and oven, blacken stove,
light fire and polish stove, fill kettle
with fresh water, wash sink, collect
soiled dishes, return dishes to desk.
p. M.-Add coal, refill kettle, collect
and return dishes, turn down the fire,
empty and wipe out the kettle, sweep
classroom.
Nos. and 3 were also intrustcd
with the important duty of keeping
everything clean. All this was merely
preliminary to the lesson, which was
really to clucidatc the problems Of how
to bake potatoes and make a good,
simple soup. This was Miss Springs
receipt for potatoes:
Baked potatoes-Select potatoes of
uniform size; wash and scrub them
well. Bake in clean hot oven from
thirty to forty minutes, or until soft;
break the skin to let the steam inside
escape. Serve at once uncovered.
The girls in white caps baked pota-
toes enough for the whole school, but
nobody was compelled to eat them W no
didn't want to. Another class will be
taught to-day. The girls are to receive
instruction in cooking only one day
each week; but the critics of this new
departure claim that it will take over
fifty hours term from their other
studies.

The Unhappy Texas Editor.

Who is the editor? What is the ed
itor? He j, the pale, unknown, honest
and tirelrss bcnrfactor of the universe.
He is a man with whom duns and cock
reaches are upon terms of undue famil-
iarity; of few joys and many sorrows;
the abhorred of the criminal and pre-
tender, the abused of printers, the tool
of the dead beat, the unappreciated
primal support Of social and religious
law. the hated of charlatans. the be-
loved of God and himself. All Of him
that is dead has balcony box and a
"sct supper in heaven; and of him
that is left is huStling for his daily
bread and praying for release.
